Swallowing the Stars: Shocking! The Giant Axe Wants to Become My Apprentice

Chapter 578 Zhou Ze's Fate! The Lords of All Universes Shocked!

In a dark void within the Mysterious Realm of Yuan, a mountain range floats, with a waterfall cascading down its slopes. Such a scene typically only appears in cosmic secret realms. In the original universe, it would be impossible for such a mountain range and waterfall to stand directly in the void, unless it were man-made.

Luo Feng, You Nanzhi, and Anman Spider stayed by the pool below the waterfall.

"Whoosh!"

A hazy light appeared, and a figure emerged from it—it was the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, dressed in a luxurious black robe.

"The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds." Luo Feng and the other two all looked over.

The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds shook his head: "The Lord of Yuan'ao, who possesses a rare artifact, is indeed strong. If he didn't have the Divine Wood, I could have severely injured him in one go with my strongest secret technique and self-destruct attack. However, he just used the black Divine Wood to defend himself, which blocked more than 90% of my attack, causing him to lose one-thousandth of his divine body."

Luo Feng and the other two fell silent for a moment.

Luo Feng pondered deeply. Could the Lord of Yuan'ao lose one-thousandth of his divine body? This must be the power of the strongest universe lord.

He originally thought his attacks were comparable to those of the strongest universe lord, but now it seems he is far from it. In his battle with the Lord of Yuan'ao just now, he couldn't do anything to the other party and couldn't even hurt the essence of the Lord of Yuan'ao's divine body. On the contrary, the Lord of Yuan'ao lost some of his divine body because he used the strongest secret technique repeatedly and consumed too much energy.

"Nine Netherworlds, in the primordial universe, the only one who surpasses you in terms of attack methods is the strongest being in the universe," said the Lord of the Dark Serpent.

"If you can't do it, what should we do?" asked the Lord of Difficulties.

"In a direct confrontation, no one in the primordial universe can kill the Lord of Yuan'ao, not even the strongest being in the universe," said the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds.

The primordial universe greatly restricts the power of the strongest beings in the universe. Every strongest being in a universe is bound by these restrictions, which means that the strength they can unleash is only slightly stronger than that of the strongest universe lords such as the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds and the Lord of Chaos City.

A difference of one level is simply not enough to result in a kill.

"What should we do then?"

"The few of us simply can't hold out."

The Lord of Difficulty and the Lord of Dark Serpent spoke.

The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds calmly said, "We can only wait, wait for the other parties to come and come together to find a solution."

……

When a strange object appears, something that the primordial universe rejects, all the strongest beings in the universe will sense it. As long as they come to deal with the strange object and remove it from the primordial universe, they will be credited with merit. Even the strongest beings in a solitary universe will not think they have too much merit, let alone the strongest beings in a universe with a race.

Each super power will send its cosmic ruler to investigate, depending on the distance.

The first to arrive was the Zerg "Lord of the Nether Lotus". Zerg universe lords are few and far between, but each one is incredibly powerful. The weakest Zerg universe lord is at the peak level. More importantly, not only can their Zerg subordinates use material means, but they are also proficient in various soul means, making them natural soul masters.

Soul techniques are something that any strong person would be wary of, because using powerful energy to attack and annihilate the opponent requires absolute strength to crush them. But soul techniques are different. Even if you are at the same level, if you don't have a soul defense treasure or a secret technique to deal with it, then someone who is proficient in soul techniques can still annihilate the opponent's divine body!

This is one of the reasons why Soul Defense Treasures are always the most precious treasures, even more expensive than Domain-type Treasures and Flying Palace-type Treasures!

"The Zerg 'Lord of the Nether Lotus,' the Zerg are all really good-looking!" Zhou Ze observed from the shadows, recalling the Zerg Queen from back then.

On the other side, the Lord of the Nether Lotus immediately attempted to attack the Lord of the Yuan Ao, commanding a full 1000 powerful insectoid warriors. Each insectoid warrior was a top-tier cosmic overlord, and under the control of the cosmic lord's consciousness, their power was terrifying!

"Whoosh!"

Countless flashes of light converged and swept across the sky.

"Haha, Minglian, it's useless. Even Jiuyou can't do anything to me, let alone you." The Lord of Yuan'ao held the black divine wood and waved it wildly in the void, gradually approaching the Lord of Minglian.

The Lord of the Nether Lotus had no choice but to flee decisively; if he had been any slower, he might have lost his Zerg warriors.

"Nine Netherworlds, you won't help me either." The beautiful and captivating Lord of the Netherworld looked at the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds with her beautiful eyes, her thin wings trembling slightly, and she was slightly annoyed.

"You've seen how powerful he is, so there's no point in me helping you," the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds said calmly.

"Then what about your Ancestral God Cult?" asked the Lord of the Nether Lotus.

The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds spoke softly, "Wait for the other forces to arrive..."

"The Lord of Yuan'ao possesses a wondrous artifact, which even the strongest beings in the universe could not defeat in the primordial universe. However, the other universe lords may not believe it, so let them try it first."

"Hmm, I'll also observe and inform the Empress..." the Lord of the Nether Lotus sighed.

The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds laughed and said, "Then let's wait together..."

Luo Feng glanced at the Lord of the Nether Lotus but didn't say anything. The Lord of the Nether Lotus, however, looked at Luo Feng with a restless expression.

This is the first disciple of the Human Race's Holy Master. If the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds weren't here, she would have to take action. If she could kill him, she could at least obtain three top-tier treasures.

……

"These Zerg universe lords are truly outrageous. No wonder they can become a top race with only six universe lords. Each universe lord has a thousand universe overlords under their command. Who can stand that? They're even proficient in soul techniques..."

Zhou Ze, who was observing from tens of light-years away, couldn't help but feel a little emotional. It was no wonder that the Zerg could be ranked among the top races with only one strongest person in the universe and six universe masters.

Under Zhou Ze's watchful eye, various forces arrived one after another, but all suffered heavy losses when they went to find the Lord of Yuan'ao. Fortunately, the strongest beings in the universe from each super power knew that "the Lord of Yuan'ao possesses a rare treasure," and the universe lords they dispatched were either extremely powerful or had extremely strong means of survival, so no one perished.

In fact, as time went on, many of the universe lords who were watching from a distance knew that they could not do anything to Lord Yuan'ao, otherwise they would not have stood aside and watched the battle. But these universe lords who rushed over, for the sake of face, naturally would not dare to go up, otherwise they would be laughed at.

"Hahaha... The Ancestral God Cult, the Zerg, the Starry Sky Beast Alliance, the Demon Race, they're all nothing special. I know you all want this divine wood, but it's in my hands. Your covetousness is useless. Even if the strongest being in the universe came, it wouldn't matter. Hahaha..."

In the void, the Lord of Yuan'ao sneered.

As time passed, batches of powerful individuals arrived, each one being thoroughly ravaged before naturally joining forces with the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds.

Meanwhile, the Human Ice Peak Lord had already arrived. After being thoroughly thrashed by the Lord of Yuan'ao, who wielded the strange artifact, he retreated and joined Luo Feng.

"Galaxy, where is your teacher?" Before the Lord of Ice Peak arrived, he had been told that Zhou Ze was already here.

Luo Feng glanced around at the various universe masters, some in combat, some sitting cross-legged, and some lying prone in the distance. He shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know. He's probably observing from the shadows. After all, none of the strongest beings in the universe have made their move yet."

As if on cue, a figure appeared instantly in front of Luo Feng and the Ice Peak Lord while Luo Feng was chatting with the Ice Peak Lord.

This appearance immediately surprised all the universe masters present:

"A human holy master? Why is he here?"

"A human holy master! This is the first time I've ever seen one, but I don't sense anything particularly powerful about him."

"Is this the human holy master who single-handedly defeated the four strongest beings from the four universes and seized the supreme treasure during the battle for the Temple of the Divine Divinity?"

"Why is this person here so early? Have they also taken a fancy to this rare item?"

Zhou Ze's appearance immediately caused a stir among all the universe lords. Even though he did not emit the slightest aura, his reputation, which was enough to intimidate the entire universe, was enough to make him the focus of the entire event.

The Lord of the Heavenly Wolf and the Lord of the Netherworld of the Demon Clan, and the Lord of the Nether Lotus of the Insect Clan, all looked at Zhou Ze with great apprehension, fearing that Zhou Ze would make a move.

Generally speaking, even the strongest beings in the universe would find it difficult to kill the Lord of the Universe. Even if they managed to kill him, they would be punished by the original universe. But Zhou Ze is different. He is the Lord of the Universe, but his combat power has reached the level of the strongest beings in the universe. He would not be punished for killing them.

Furthermore, both the demon race and the insect race knew that Zhou Ze possessed a special secret technique that could ignore soul defenses and directly attack the will. Once the will was confused or even fainted, all soul defense secret techniques would lose their effect, and the soul defense treasures would lose their will enhancement and their defenses would be weakened to the greatest extent.

Most importantly, Zhou Ze is also proficient in soul techniques, which is the most deadly. You must know that the most effective way to cause damage to the essence of a divine body is through soul attacks. If one of the opponents at the same level is good at soul attacks, while the other does not have enough soul defense, then the other will be at a disadvantage.

In a fight, the one who is proficient in soul attacks will definitely be able to completely dominate the other. If they fight to the death and do not run away, they will definitely be annihilated by their soul. Even having a clone will be useless.

Moreover, Zhou Ze's combat power has reached the level of the strongest in the universe, and he also has a special secret technique to directly attack the enemy's will... This is definitely a nightmare for other universe masters.

If caught, it might be difficult to even escape. As early as after the Battle of the Temple of the Divine, the universe masters of the Zerg, the Demon Clan, and the Mechanical Clan were told by the strongest beings in their respective universes that if they encountered Zhou Ze, they should run for their lives immediately. If they could not escape, they should immediately ask the strongest beings in their respective universes for help.

The lords of the universe naturally placed absolute trust in the instructions of the strongest beings within their race.

On the scene, if it weren't for the special circumstances, the universe masters of the demon race and the insect race would have fled long ago. Even if they didn't flee, they would have notified the strongest beings in their respective universes the moment they saw Zhou Ze.

……

Dream Ancestor's Secret Realm.

"The human holy master is getting involved so early?" The silver-white giant snake's eyes flickered. "He certainly doesn't know that these rare artifacts aren't so easy to touch. If too much time passes, the artifact's aura will quietly seep into his body, and then he'll be rejected by the primordial universe..."

"Yes, this information is only unknown to a universe lord like Yuan Ao who is completely isolated from information. The higher-ups of the human race will definitely tell him this!"

"Yes, this information is only unknown to a universe lord like Yuan Ao who is completely isolated from information. The higher-ups of the human race will definitely tell him this!"

"Since that's the case, we can't let him obtain the rare item so easily, nor can we let the human race claim the greatest credit!"
